The speed limit on a motorway is 120 km per hour. What is this in SI units?

by

3 October 2023 by alevelmechanics1.com Intro: In this numerical problem, we will be converting the speed limit from a motorway, which is typically measured in kilometers per hour (km/h), into the equivalent value in the International System of Units (SI units). The SI unit for speed is meters per second (m/s), so we will perform the necessary … Read more

How long will an athlete take to run 1500 metres at 7.5 m s^-1?

by

In this numerical scenario, we’re examining how much time an athlete will require to complete a 1500-meter run at a constant speed of 7.5 meters per second.
